The Rockin' Robots robotics team, comprised of children from Tuckahoe, will compete in Dutchess County this weekend.
You may not have known it, but Tuckahoe has its own robotics team, which is comprised of children ages 11-15 years-old who live in Tuckahoe. On Saturday the "Rockin' Robots" team will be competing at a the First Lego League Championship at Dutchess Community College. The Rockin' Robots are one of 12 teams that will have to build a robot that will have to overcome obstacles made out of Legos.
Rockin' Robots Coach Afshin Bayrooti says the team has created a robot called Nibbles. Nibbles uses a program called Mindstorm, which will guide it through the Lego obstacles.
Back in 2011, the Rockin' Robots won the Hudson Valley Championship. They were also one of 76 teams that qualified for the North American Robotics competition.
